A web application security scanner used for identifying vulnerabilities
2
Which of the following tools is commonly, usually like its primary purpose used for host discovery in a network?
Metasploit
Nessus
Nmap
Wireshark
3
Which of the following best describes the difference between NIST and ISO in the context of cybersecurity frameworks?
ISO standards used by private companies, where NIST is only for government
ISO is only on cloud security, NIST covers all aspects of cybersecurity
NIST frameworks are required worldwide, while ISO standards are voluntary
NIST provides cybersecurity guidelines for U.S., while ISO international
4
Which factor primarily determines a company's PCI DSS compliance level?
The type of encryption used for payment data storage
The number of employees handling payment processing
The geographical location of the business
The annual volume of credit card transactions processed
5
Given the following CVSS base score readout, what does the score indicate about the vulnerability's severity?
Vulnerability can be exploited remotely with minimal effort, significant
Vulnerability has a moderate impact and requires physical access to exploit
Vulnerability has a critical impact but can only be exploited by an insider
Vulnerability requires user interaction to exploit but has a minimal impact
6
What is the primary difference between fingerprinting and footprinting in the context of network reconnaissance?
Fingerprinting gathers network details; footprinting identifies devices
Footprinting = general network info; fingerprinting = system specifics
7
Which of the following is a key difference between agent-based and agentless scans in a network security assessment?
Agent-based scans are faster than agentless scans
Agent-based scans install software on target systems, agentless scans don't
Agentless scans are less secure compared to agent-based scans
8
Which of the following best describes the purpose of the OWASP Top 10?
A list of the most critical web application security risks
A certification program for ethical hackers
A compliance framework for network security audits
A ranking of the most popular cybersecurity tools
9
Which of the following is the primary purpose of CIS Benchmarks? Center for Internet Security
To establish the minimum password length for secure networks
